belt buckle

Strap's metal closure

A belt buckle is the clasp that fastens a belt, typically a metal frame with a prong that fits through holes in the leather.

Belt buckles range from small and functional to large and ornamental—oversized decorative buckles are associated with Western wear and rodeo culture: He wore a silver belt buckle the size of a fist.
